NSW Parliament votes no on legislation to decriminalise abortion

You edited your comment after I replied so now my reply makes no sense. Don't try to twist my words, I didn't ignore your question because it wasn't written at that time and your original comment was incredibly unclear. The previous OP already mentioned the woman not being coerced, that has nothing to do with my comment so I don't see why you're bringing it up again.

Health professionals have a legal obligation to be mandatory reporters. As a nurse, if I suspected the patient was being abused or pressured into the abortion I would have to ask a few questions to get more information and report it. You are correct in this sense. We generally ask a few screening questions to rule this out when gaining consent. However, it is against the ethical and legal codes of conduct for health professionals to pass judgement on patients or to push their beliefs on them. For example, it would violate the code of conduct for a doctor to try to convince a woman not to get an abortion simply because it is against the doctors own personal beliefs. The doctor could refuse to do the procedure if they are uncomfortable with it, but they should pass the patient along to another professional instead of shaming the woman and convincing her to keep the baby. This is what I was referring to earlier, which you seemed to miss.

Now, as for your weird incest scenario, I still don't see how it's relevant. I'm talking about women's rights to abortion without being shamed by their health professionals. If a woman was raped by her father and became pregnant she should absolutely be able to get an abortion. If you were talking about someone willingly committing incest then that's a whole different story and isn't related to what I'm talking about. In those scenarios the woman is usually being abused or manipulated into it from a young age, so I wouldn't classify that as being "her choice." I don't believe that incest can be consensual for the daughter. Either way, it's irrelevant. I'm simply talking about health professionals' ethical obligation not to push their personal beliefs on their patients, nothing more.
